Chapter 118: The Grave Keeper's Lineage

Outside the stone gate, there was a very wide tomb road, and Shi Bo strode into the tomb road, I followed behind him, and asked him: "Is my master a yang branch or a yin branch?" ”

Uncle Shi sighed a little inexplicably, and said: "The successive heads of the Shouzheng line are all yang branches, and when it comes to the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Shouzheng lineage, it mainly refers to your yang branch, our yin branch, hehe, it is the shadow of your yang branch, like me and your master's generation are both yin and yang branches, but many times there are only yang branches and no yin branches, isn't this the case in your generation?" Alas, when Zong Yuan and I followed the master to learn art, Zong Yuan was a personal apprentice taught by the master, and what about me, after the master taught me the basic skills, he threw me a few classics and let me explore them myself. There is no way to do these things, after all, for the inheritance of the Yin Branch, hehe, the master himself doesn't know much. ”

The first paragraph of Uncle Shi was for me, and the latter paragraph was talking to himself.

After walking a short distance along the tomb road, we returned to the tomb where Wang Dafu lived, Wang Dafu had not returned at this time, and there was still a pot of fish he cooked before leaving on the stove, and in the center of the tomb, there were several large leather bags, each of which was called round, and it should contain the materials brought by the master.

As I passed by one of the bags, I opened them and looked at them, only to find that they were full of boxes of bullets and a few long knives with scabbards.

Uncle Shi said to me with a smile: "Lao Wang has been in this place for so many years, and it is not easy, hehe, I specially got him something for self-defense." ”

I asked Uncle Shi with some puzzlement: "Wang Dafu has been in such a place for 30 years?" ”

Uncle Shi nodded, and was about to say something to me, when Liang Houzai also opened a bag full of curiosity, which immediately caused my Uncle to roar angrily: "What are you doing!" Did those things let you touch them! ”

It was fine just now, why did you go crazy in the blink of an eye?

Liang Houzai was taken aback by my uncle, Liang Zi was also confused, my uncle glared at Liang Houzai again, and then turned his gaze to me and said to me: "Hehe, when Lao Wang said that he was going to come to guard the tomb, I also asked him what he was doing here, but he only said that since he came in, he must have his reason, but he didn't want to reveal a word about other things." ”

When Uncle Shi talked to me, his tone had regained his previous affinity, but when he yelled at Liang Houzai and Liang Zi, he had a fierce and vicious expression, and he was completely different from the current appearance.

At this time, Uncle Shi continued on the topic just now: "At that time, I felt strange, I have often moved around Hebei and Shaanxi over the years, and I have also conducted some investigations on Lao Wang's affairs. I have seen his nephew, I took a look at their genealogy, the genealogy of the Wang family is very long, the first ancestor of their family is a person from Xianyang, surnamed Cen, from the genealogy, their ancestors may be the clan of the pre-Qin, but in the early years of the Han Dynasty, the family changed their surname to 'Tu', and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they changed their surname to Wang. ”

The surname Tu does exist, and there seem to be more people with the surname Tu in some areas, but for me at the time, the surname Tu was a surname that I had never seen before, and the relatives and classmates around me, including those characters in TV dramas and celebrities who appeared in textbooks, did not have a surname Tu.

So much so that I thought that this surname did not exist.

I listened to my uncle continue: "After seeing that genealogy, I vaguely felt that when Wang Dafu came to Erlong Bay, it was probably not just to support the construction, he may have known early on that there was a dragon king's tomb under Erlong Bay. ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Shi suddenly asked me: "You have a way, do you usually read history books?" ”

I shook my head, and Uncle Shi glanced at me with some reproach and said, "I'll see it later!" Taking history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, do you understand? Hehe, what you want to see in the future, those who do our business must understand history. ”

After saying this, Uncle Shi suddenly stopped and stared at me with a serious face.

I thought he was going to suddenly go crazy again, and for a while the whole person became cramped, and I didn't know where to look, and after a while, I heard my uncle say: "You must understand history." ”

This time, I quickly made a very modest and serious look, and nodded to Uncle Shi.

Uncle Shi's expression softened suddenly, and he said to me with a smile: "From the era when Lao Wang's family changed his surname twice, it is inferred that he should be a descendant of the tomb guards. In that year, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, destroyed the above-ground part of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, after Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, established the Han Dynasty, he made a simple repair to the First Emperor's Mausoleum, and transferred 20 families from the local area to garrison the Emperor's Mausoleum. Later, because of the meritorious work of these mausoleum keepers, they were given the surname 'soil' by Han Gaozu. Hehe, this coincides with the first surname change time on Lao Wang's family tree. ”

I also heard these things very strangely to the teacher, and these things are not in the history textbooks at all.

After the master said that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, knew that his limit was approaching, he saw that the mausoleum was destroyed after the death of the first emperor, and realized that after his death, the cemetery would one day be stolen by future generations, so he selected eighteen people among the mausoleum guards, and guarded the long tomb for him for generations, which is eighteen people, one of whom is the thirteenth generation of the disciples of the public loss class, and it is this person, relying on the craftsmanship handed down by the ancestors and the support of the imperial court, to establish a righteous sect to guard the tomb and the tomb, the descendants call it the tomb guarding faction, and the disciples in the door, is directly called the mausoleum keeper.

At the earliest, the tomb guard faction was only distributed in the Changling area, until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and all the tomb guards were expelled from Changling.

During the period from Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty to the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the mausoleum guards rarely appeared on the rivers and lakes, and no one knew what they had done, but there were rumors about them in today's Henan, according to a warlock at the time, the tomb guards found nine tombs in Kyushu, and the mausoleum guards had been divided into nine groups and stationed near the nine tombs to prevent thieves from digging graves.

The warlock died after spreading the news, and was assassinated. I also heard from my uncle that there is a detailed record of this incident in an ancient book in the collection of Jisoul Village, which says that the warlock "died on a sword warrior on a night without a deserving." Uncle Shi also explained that the meaning of this sentence was probably that the night of the warlock's death was out of shape, and that he was pressed to death on a chopping board and hacked to death with a knife.

Later, it came to the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Mengde in order to replenish military funds, the formation of the gold captain, the legend once touched the gold captain found an ancient tomb, which happened to be the tomb guarded by the tomb keepers, no one knows what kind of sparks collided between the tomb guards and the gold captains, the ancient books just said that after the incident, Prime Minister Cao Cheng had sent people to find the stronghold of the tomb guards.

I don't know if the mausoleum guards were afraid of Cao Cao's retaliation or what, all the disciples disappeared overnight, except for a brief appearance in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, there is no record of them in the historical materials.

Uncle Shi said that there are still many ancient historical books in the Soul Village, and most of the records in those classics are hidden secrets that are not covered by some official histories, and those books are very important materials for those of us who often walk around the ancient tombs.

In the end, Uncle Shi said: "It is said that the nine tombs found by the mausoleum keepers in the early years are all related to Kyushu Ding, and I also thought that this Dragon King Tomb was one of the nine tombs, hehe, and later I found out that I thought too much." I've searched this tomb, and I've seen a lot of evil corpses, but I haven't found anything similar to Ding.

I am also half-skeptical about Uncle Shi's words, what is the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, what are the Nine Great Tombs and Kyushu Ding, it sounds too mysterious.

About the Kyushu Ding, when I have not entered the master's door, the master has mentioned once or twice, according to my master's statement, the Kyushu Ding does exist, from the early years of the Xia Dynasty to the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the Kyushu Ding has always been a symbol of imperial power, passed down from generation to generation in the hands of the kings of the past dynasties, until the Qin unified the six countries after the whereabouts of the go, after the Qin Dynasty, the national treasure became the jade seal of the country from the Kyushu Ding, to the five dynasties and ten countries, a person named Li Congke held the jade seal in the Xuanwu Tower and burned to death, since then the jade seal of the country has not been traced.

The master said that the jade seal of the country was carved from a piece of jade that had not been warmed, and that piece of jade had gone through war and was changed hands by different people, because it was too popular and evil, and the spirit had long been destroyed. But Kyushu Ding is cast by Dayu, and there is a map of Kyushu mountains and rivers on it, if it is still there, it should be regarded as an artifact.

In addition, my master also said that since the Qin Dynasty, historians have not reached a conclusion on the question of whether the Kyushu Ding is one Ding or nine Dings.

Anyway, no matter whether the Kyushu Ding is a Ding or a Jiukou Ding, there must have been countless people looking for it or them for thousands of years, since the rumors have said that the nine tombs found by the tomb keepers are related to the Kyushu Ding, I don't believe that for so many years, no one has tried to find the Kyushu Ding through the tomb keepers.

Uncle Shi said that the mausoleum keepers have hardly appeared since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there is no way to believe this kind of thing, those mausoleum keepers may be able to avoid the butler's eyeliner, but since ancient times, there are countless strange people in the rivers and lakes, the court can't find them, and the sects on the rivers and lakes can't find them? Not to mention ancient times, even in today's era, isn't there still a Jiufeng Mountain? What other old ghosts are like this?

In fact, let's be honest, for Wang Dafu's matter, I am at most confused and curious, but I am not particularly concerned, what I am most concerned about now is Luo Youfang's matter.

But Senior Brother Feng also said before that although Luo Youfang is a disciple of my uncle, my uncle doesn't seem to want to see him at all. I don't know if I should be in front of Uncle Luo Youfang, this person has been in contact with Uncle Shi for so long, and I can see that my Uncle Shi's temper is not normal, sometimes good and sometimes bad, I am also afraid that which sentence will touch his scales, in case he suddenly goes crazy......
